guess the lyrics

[low_delta]

There was a meme going around a while back, where you pick out your favorite lyrics from twenty songs from your computer's playlist. I did all the songs I could from my first playlist. Here's the first half. Try to guess the song.

1. X
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the man come and take you away

2.
Some folks look for answers
Others look for fights
Some folks love the treetops
Just look to see the sights

3.X
I look to the time with you
To keep me awake and alive
All my instincts, they return
And the grand facade, soon will burn

4.X I don't want to end up like Bonnie and Clyde

5. X
Kiss a girl and everything's all right
Can I get away again tonight?

6.X
Don't tell me that you love me
Just say that you want me

7.X
Give me spots on my apples
But leave me the birds and the bees

8.
Now they are gone and I sit alone
And watch one cigarette burn away

9.
Speeding to a shadow of a million years
Darkness is the only sound to reach his ears
Blinding with a vision of eternity
Scream into a future that could never be

10.X
I can't do what them people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same

11.
If you survive til two-thousand and five
I hope you're exceedingly thin
For if you are stout, you will have to breathe out
So the man next to you can breathe in

12.X I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes

13.
Put your arms around me
Every bit of your love
You know what to do
And it’s up to you

14.X You believe in things that you don't understand and you suffer

15. So if you can, please understand you might not come back

16.
Hey buddy, would you like to buy a watch?
Here on the street?

17.X
I can fly like a bird in the sky
I can buy anything that money can buy
I can turn a river into a raging fire
I can live forever if I so desire

18.
There ain't nothing you could ask I could answer you but I won't
I was gonna change, but I'm not, to keep doing things I don't

19.X
I close my eyes; she's somehow closer now
Softly smile I know she must be kind
When - I look in her eyes
She goes with me to a blossom world

20.X Oh yeah, all day, and nighttime yours leave me never.

21. X
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair

22.
I've been told by some you'll forget me
The thought doesn't upset me
I am blind to whatever they're saying
And all I can see is the fire in your eyes

Google didn't serve you very well on this one. I posted the exact lines. I thought maybe yours were a different part of the song, but I don't hear them anywhere.

Son of a Preacher Man Lyrics from Dusty Springfield

Billy-Ray was a Preacher's son,
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along,
When they gathered round and started talking,
That's when Billy would take me walking,
Through the back yard we'd go walking,
Then he'd look into my eyes,
Lord knows to my suprise:

The only one who could ever reach me,
Was the son of a preacher man,
The only boy who could ever teach me,
Was the son of a preacher man,
Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was.

Being good isn't always easy,
No matter how hard I tried,
When he started sweet talking to me,
he'd come tell me everything is alright,
he'd kiss and tell me everything is alright,
Can I get away again tonight?.

The only one who could ever reach me,
Was the son of a preacher man,
The only boy who could ever teach me,
Was the son of a preacher man,
Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was.

How well I remember,
The look that was in his eyes,
Stealing kisses from me on the sly,
Taking time to make time,
Telling me that he's all mine,
Learning from each others knowing,
Looking to see how much we'd grown.

The only one who could ever reach me,
Was the son of a preacher man,
The only boy who could ever teach me,
Was the son of a preacher man,
Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was.

Okay, I can hear it that way now. Those slurred words are hard to make out.
